00:44 - ApothecaryI never saw the appeal of Pallbearer. Ok music, but not worth the enormous praise they've been getting by some. Didn't ever impress me much on album and when I saw them live with Deafheaven I wasn't really won over either

Power metallers Primal Fear have set Delivering The Black as the title of their tenth studio album, tentatively due in January 2014 via Frontiers Records. So far, the band hasn't really explained the meaning behind the title but one can speculate. What do you think it means? We also know that Delivering The Black features a guest appearance by Norwegian singer Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull (Leaves' Eyes, ex-Theatre Of Tragedy) on the song "Born With A Broken Heart".

12 tracks were recorded during the new album sessions, including "two epic songs, one guitar ballad, and nine crushing metal songs with all the trademarks you know and love to hear from Primal Fear," according to the band.

Vocalist Ralf Scheepers stated about the musical direction of the upcoming album in an interview: "It's not so far away [from what we've done in the past], because we have our style, you know. It was hard for us to imagine... because [2012's] Unbreakable was a pretty tough... and really, in our ears, pretty great album, and for us, it was somehow hard to top it. But as soon as we started to write the new songs, and as soon as I heard what Mat and Magnus [Karlsson, guitar] did in the first place — because then they sent me some stuff and I added my ideas on it — I just thought, 'Wow, this is amazing.' And in the end, it really turned out to be a better album than Unbreakable."
